“Connecting Tomorrow” is more than just a conference title – it’s a commitment to showcasing a digital future that is intelligent, inclusive and seemingly infinite in potential. As Luxembourg moves toward a smarter, faster and more connected society, our event examines the forces driving that transformation, from 5G and fibre to quantum networks, next-generation satellites and the ethical impact of artificial intelligence.

We begin our journey with a welcome from Julien Larios, CEO of MyConnectivity, followed by opening remarks from Elisabeth Margue, Minister Delegate to the Prime Minister for Media and Connectivity, setting the tone for an afternoon of bold ideas and frontier technologies.

The Seamless Dimension: Wireless Futures

Dr. Sébastien Faye (LIST) traces Luxembourg’s 5G and 6G research projects, Julien Baudouin (Proximus Luxembourg) unveils the country’s first nationwide NB-IoT network, and Steven Pater (Vodafone) shares a vision for open, collaborative networks powered by Open Gateway.

The Velocity Dimension: Fixed & Fibre Frontiers

Marc Bertemes and Christophe Leytem (POST Technologies) reveal Europe’s first AI-ready fibre network. Consultant Benoît Felten explores the promise and risk of long-haul connectivity, while Alessandro Gropelli (Connect Europe) asks what lies beyond universal fibre coverage.

The Possibility Dimension: Quantum Internet

Rudy Stranen (Ministry of State) outlines Luxembourg’s national strategy for quantum communications. Dr Torsten Uwe Siebert (Fraunhofer IOF) highlights cutting-edge research, and Florian Kaiser (LIST), speaking for the Quantum Internet Alliance, maps the road toward Europe’s quantum backbone.

The Infinity Dimension: Next-Gen Satellite

Dr Konstantinos Ntontin (University of Luxembourg) presents new paradigms for satellite-ground integration, while Philippe Glaesener (SES) explains how initiatives such as IRIS² will extend secure, resilient connectivity far beyond terrestrial limits.

The Catalyst Dimension: Data Centres & Cloud

Yves Schmit (Luxembourg Directorate of Defence) shows how a sovereign cyber-defence cloud safeguards national data, and Kurt Rommens (Google Cloud) offers a hyperscaler’s perspective on the future of data-centre energy efficiency and AI workloads.

The Impact Dimension: Sustainability in an AI Era

Amy Peck (Founder & CEO, EndeavorXR) and Fedra Fateh (AI Art LAB founder) challenge us to balance innovation with responsibility, then sit down for an unscripted fireside chat on the environmental and ethical questions raised by our technological ambitions.

Each moment of Connecting Tomorrow is crafted to illuminate Luxembourg’s dynamic ecosystem, spark dialogue and connect minds across disciplines. Whether you work in government, tech, academia or business, this is where today’s pioneers gather to build tomorrow’s connectivity.
